3.2 Saving energy
If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use
less power.
When steaming, you can cook on several levels at the
same time.
¡
With steam, various dishes can be prepared at the
same time without the different flavours mixing.
When preparing dishes with different cooking times,
those with the longest cooking time should be
placed in the oven first.
When cooking multiple dishes, do so in succession or
in parallel.
¡
The cooking compartment is heated after cooking
the first dish. This reduces the cooking time for the
following dishes.
If the cooking time is relatively long, you can switch
the appliance off 10 minutes before the cooking time
ends.
¡
There will be enough residual heat to finish cooking
the dish.
Use dark-coloured, black-coated or enamelled baking
tins.
¡
These types of baking tin absorb the heat particu-
larly well.
Open the appliance door as little as possible during
operation.
¡
This maintains the temperature in the cooking com-
partment and eliminates the need for the appliance
to reheat.
Remove any accessories that are not being used from
the cooking compartment.
¡
Accessories that are not being used do not need to
be heated.
Allow frozen food to defrost before cooking.
¡
This saves the energy that would otherwise be re-
quired to defrost it.
